panded condition to prevent sagging or` wrinlling regardless of the abuse the tie might receive during the life thereof.

Another object of the invention is to provide an inner lining` for the wings of the bow tie of the ready type variety which includes a relatively stilil body of material of a shape similar' to the shape of the wings and which has stitched thereto adjacent opposite ends, a pair of elastic tabs, the said tabs extending beyond the ends of the stiftening body and adapted to be bent upon themselves to maintain t-he wings in a full expanded ',condition. In addition to this structure we provide an extra layer of stili"- ening material of a reduced width to that of the body, the ends of the reduced strip over lapping the fixed ends of the elastic tabs to materially increase the stiffness of the wings inward of the edges thereof.

With these and other objects in view, the invention resides in the certain novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts, the essential features of which are hereinafter fully described inthe annexed specification, are particularly pointed out in the claims and are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure l is a perspective view of a ready tied bow tie equipped with our invention.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the wing stiftening member.

Figure 3 is an enlarged detail horizontal sectional view through one of the front wings of the tie taken on the line 3 3 of Figure l.

Referring to the drawings by reference characters, the letter A designates the usual neck band of a ready made bow tie, while B designates the usual double wing back memv ber of the tie, and C the usual double wing nent mtmbefor the ne, both of which Wing members are of gradually narrowing width toward their centers and are secured thereat by apiece of material representing the knot D. Usually, in-ties of this characterf the front'double wingV members C yconsist of an inner and outer ply ofniaterial joined together yattheirjedges or a singlellengthv of Vmaterial vfolded over and stitched attheir npper and lower edges,-between which thel-'60 usual heavy liningis interposed.

'In carrying out ourv invention, we pro- Videla strip of relatively v'still material such as buclramor canvas 5in lieu of the usual lining and 'which is shaped similar tothe? 'e5' double wing lshape of vat least the 'front double wing@ ofthe tie. The width of this lining 5 as well as the length thereof is slightly greater than the width and length ofthe *n double'wing member C, while intermediate rZ0 the ends'of the liningstrip Sand' at opposite points along the edges thereof,-are transverse narrow incisions or V-shaped notches (i-Sythese incisions being of a length dependent upon the tightness of the knot D. Arranged longitudinally upon the lining strip 5 at opposite ends thereof are strips of relatively thin rubber or other elastic Inaterial "7 which are stitched to the lining strip 5 intermediatetheir ends by single or double rows of transverse stitching 8. Lying flat against one side of the lining strip or body 5 is an elongated strip 9 of a similar material but of a less width and length than the body 5 so as tobe disposed within the connes of the edges thereof. The opposite ends of the strip 9 overlap the inner ends of the elastic tabs 7, and the said ends are secured by one of the rows of stitching 8.

During the manufacture of the double wing C, the lining strip or body 5 having the rubber tabs 7 and reinforcing strip 9 associated therewith is placed between the front and back walls of the wing member, and stitched thereto, the inwardly converging 95 edges of the lining strip or body being iirst folded upon themselves and which is accomplished by reason of the incisions or notches 6 6. Also during the formation of the double wing C, the ends of the lining 5 will be ico flexed inwardlyadjacent the rows of stitching 8 whichwillV result in the turning over of the y rubber strips or tabs 7-.7 directlyintermedicallygtendto more outwardlyjexpanding the i front and back walls of the double wingrnem#g Y ber VC to vimpart a full appearance thereto,
